BARRE TOWN — Lisette Louise Brassard, 84, formerly of Barre Town and Venice, Florida, went home to be with her St. Anne and Jesus on Friday, July 4, 2014, at Heaton Woods Assisted Living in Montpelier with her family at her bedside.

Lisette was born on June 11, 1930, in Barre. She was the daughter of Josephat and Yvette (Moreau) Scalabrini. She attended Sacred Heart in Newport, Vermont, for three years beginning in 1945, and then graduated from Spaulding High School in Barre in 1948.

In 1950, Lisette married Fernand “Red” Lajeunesse in Barre. Following their marriage, they lived on Seminary Street in Barre, moving to East Barre in 1952. Together, they started Brookside Memorials in East Barre where they lived for many years while raising their family until they divorced.

Her memberships included St. Monica’s Church in Barre, where she was a member of the Ladies of St. Anne, and Mount Carmel in Nokomis, Florida.

Lisette was a devoted wife, an amazing mom and a proud and loving grandmother.

Her family was the most important thing to her. She showed them and her friends the meaning of unconditional love. She especially enjoyed spending her time creating wonderful family gatherings and celebrations. She taught her family the importance of supporting and loving each other through good and bad times.

Besides her parents, she was predeceased by one very special grandson, Richard “Ricky” Nicolino, and one brother, Henry Scalabrini.
